The Solitary Sheikh

Sons of the Desert #3

by Alexandra Sellers

A HARDENED, LONELY SHEIKHPrince Omar's heart was as barren as the desert--until beguiling Jana Stewart, his daughters' tutor, tempted the widower's weary soul like an oasis. Though the powerful prince desperately desired Jana's touch, he resisted her, believing that love was merely a mirage....A WOMAN TO HEAL HIMJana was captivated by the sheikh and his breathtaking inheritance, the Cup of Happiness. But a taste from the goblet had failed to bring him joy. So Jana tempted the prince to touch his lips to hers, and in his unquenchable desire she glimpsed his hidden need to be healed...and loved. Could this beauty restore Omar's faith in family...and make this solitary sheikh lonely no more?

[Nadia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sono un po' sul perplesso andante circa questo libro. Parte lentamente e un po' alla lontana per introdurre i protagonisti e poi da metà in poi mette il turbo, succedono cose e tutti i problemi si risolvono in un nano secondo senza una vera e propria spiegazione, così... puff!
Meno male che lo sceicco è un bel vedere, almeno quello! Tutto il resto è ni.
3 stelle tirate per i capelli.

Una pareja interesante, se complementan el uno al otro a la perfección y por fin Sheikh conoce la alegría y la felicidad verdaderas.

This book fails to titillate. I read it for my book club's Romance Novel Grab Bag in June. A major plot point involves Jana, the leading lady, basically kidnapping the children of the leading man, Omar. This is passed off as "impulsiveness." I would've said craziness, creepiness and/or stupidity, but whatever. The main disappointment, however, is that there is practically no buildup to the love/sexual relationship between Jana and Omar, which is kinda the whole point of a romance novel, right? Right. Thus, I call it a complete and total failure as a romance novel.
